missing from 10.11.2014. Even after diligent search made by him in various places, she could not be traced. Hence, the petitioner lodged a complaint with the respondent Police on 11.10.2014 and a case in Crime No.407 of 2014 has been registered for "Woman Missing". Since no effective steps were taken by the respondent police to secure the detenue, he was constrained to file this Habeas Corpus Petition.
